green velvet cake

September 4th, 2008

You possibly will not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes green velvet cake but it is feasible. The key is to not eat green velvet cake or other high calorie desserts every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want - without going overboard of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet food. I have only been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

I also find it is helpful if you have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.
